At 110,000 I'd do plugs and wires as well, I know I did with my Graphite.
Needswings.com has a $199 kit of 12 plugs, 12 wires and a wire removal tool - that's what I used.

Id' not waste my time "checking" them, I'd just do it at 110,000 miles. And again, no way would I not do wires as well.

If your breather covers are leaking, I take the valve/breather assemblies off to fix that, if you have that issue, do it all at once. With the valve covers off, the plugs sit there in almost plain view and say "HI!"

I know that this is a really old thread, but it seems to be the most relevant to me wanting to change my plugs (and wires?).

XFire has 135K miles on her and she is beginning to stall out occasionally when idling at stop lights (once every 3 months or so) and hiccup occasionally on the highway.

Thinking that new plugs are a good idea and possibly wires.

05RoadsterGuy: Did you ever get a chance to work up a tutorial on this?

Any current recommendations on plugs, wires and the best tool for the job?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Bro.

What plugs and wires would you good folks recommend?

Those of you that have done this task before, would you say it would have been worth it to just pay someone else $150 to have them do it for you? That is what my local mechanic would charge if I supply the plugs and wires.

Thanks.

I would have to have both hands amputated before paying someone to do what I can do and I'm handicapped.

Plugs because of heat and corrosive components of ignition, can eventually lead to diminished performance. Wires, not so much, if they are not twisted etc, they potentially can last many K miles. No moving parts, much like CPS, cleaning the connections with an appropriate cleaner should suffice.
